110percentwahoo, we should hang out sometime!! I think that all of my friends, even the religious ones, do drink here. But not heavily. Or else we wouldn’t be friends… Haha. I’ve felt similar … unease… since I’m Jewish and not Christian, but you make it work. I have a really close super Christian friend from high school and I go visit her at her super Christian college every semester. I don’t feel any more connected there with no one drinking because I’m not really a part of that really either you know? It’s rare for someone to be sober without religious reasons I guess. But you make it work and like 110 said you hang out with your friends when they’re not getting trashed if they like to do that. I was lucky enough that my friends did not go out every other night like 100’s did, just once in a while. There are a lot more people in the ed school who don’t drink for nonreligious reasons, though, or at least don’t get trashed. So I like hanging out with them a lot. But plenty of them like getting drunk as much as the next person as well. You find friends quickly who like to go to a movie, go out to dinner, or stay in and play games if that is the kind of stuff you like to do. And don’t underestimate taking a night off. I did it just to relax and it is amazing (I would always do Friday nights, it was the best).
